ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor-on-insulator hetero-structure and a method for fabricating the semiconductor -on-insulator hetero-structure include a crystalline substrate and a dielectric layer located thereupon having an aperture that exposes the crystalline substrate. The semiconductor-on -insulator hetero-structure and the method for fabricating the semiconductor-on-insulator hetero-structure also include a semiconductor layer of composition different than the crystalline substrate located within the aperture and upon the dielectric layer. A portion of the semiconductor layer located aligned over the aperture includes a defect. A portion of the semiconductor layer located aligned over the dielectric layer does not include a defect. Upon removing the portion of the semiconductor layer located aligned over the aperture a reduced defect semiconductor-on-insulator hetero-structure is formed.
